I was in a very magical mood when I painted this picture. I love mushrooms--not the kind people put in food- but the cute shrooms that grow in the grass, or on an old tree stump. They could be so many things--umbrellas for little critters, homes for even smaller critters, or why not a lamp for children at play after dark?
This little girl is on a walk in the darkness (could be night, could be symbolic) and her little light is shining, lighting the way. Shining for others to see.
Psalm 18:28 "You, LORD, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light."
Matthew 5:16 "In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven"
Psalm 119:130 "Your word is a lamp for my feet a light on my path Lamp Unto my feet.
This is an embellished print from my original mixed media art painting in acrylic, pen and sparkles. The print was made and sparkles added for better effect. After adhering the print to the cradled board, the sides were stained and the entire piece varnished for long lasting UV protection.
In this picture the mushrooms act as little lanterns they shine the way for whoever may pass by. The girl in this picture is letting her little light shine! A reminder to let our lights shine in the darkness for others to see!
This is a great gift to encourage a friend, or hang in a child’s room, or sit on a shelf or desk.
